Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson had the best response to a teen’s ‘promposal’

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Sends Special Message to High School Senior Who Invited Him to Prom3:05

A high school student in Stillwater, Minnesota, got quite the surprise on April 20, when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hijacked her school’s morning announcements to deliver a message. In a video posted to the Stillwater Area High School Facebook page, Katie Kelzenberg appeared shocked as she listened to a message from Johnson, recorded after she sent a Tweet inviting him to her senior prom. “I am sending a message to a very special young lady and her name is Miss Katie Kelzenberg,” Johnson announced much to the delight of the high school senior. Johnson said he would be unable to make the prom due to filming commitments but rented out a local movie theatre for Kelzenberg and her friends to see his latest movie “Rampage.” He also encouraged a “chivalrous, gentleman of a boy” to ask Kelzenberg to prom or just go with her friends.

Days later, the teen got her answer. While in her AP statistics class at Stillwater Area High School, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, a recorded announcement came over the loudspeaker:

“I’m going to start this Friday morning announcement off with a little bit of fun and a little bit of excitement. You’re probably thinking ‘What? What is The Rock doing on our intercom system?’ Well, I’m sending a message to a very special young lady, and her name is Miss Katie Kelzenberg,” he said.

The Rock had to unfortunately tell the superfan — who has a Dwayne Johnson pillow, T-shirt, action figure and even a cutout of the actor, according to the Pioneer Press — that he would not be able to make it to prom on May 5. The actor will be in Hawaii filming his new movie, “Jungle Cruise,” he said.

But the scheduling conflict didn’t stop Johnson from giving Kelzenberg the surprise of a lifetime. The Rock announced that he rented out a local movie theatre for the teen to watch his recently released movie “Rampage.”

“I decided to rent out an entire theatre (capacity 232 seats) in her town so Katie and her closest 232 friends and family can enjoy a special screening of RAMPAGE,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “And all the free popcorn, candy and soda high school kids can consume! Your money’s no good Katie ... everything is on Uncle DJ.”
